Oh and I forgot to mention the original seat leaves a massive gap between the top of the tank and bottom of the seat, older rear guard has to be used and the rear cross piece thingy at the back of the subframe that the original guard attaches to needs to be cut out and replaced by a piece of flat bar.

Hi Michael, In some german forum there is quite a bit of talk regarding the demand for additional fuel capacity for KTMs Freeride- basically adding some 2 liters either side of the existing tank replacing the plastics. They reckon a run of about 20+ units could be economically viable. Ever thought about that? Cheers waldecker

It's certainly do-able, I've been thinking of a similar idea for enduro bikes, just swap out the tank shouds for small add on tanks when extra fuel is required. I'd worry about the mounting points though, those bolt holes that the shrouds mount to weren't designed to hold much weight.

If anyone's got a Freeride I'd be willing to take a look.

20+ units is probably minimum for a plastic tank, I could make it viable for ~5.
